Summary: Caught my attention
Review: This book caught my attention and I purchased it; interested in reading what a teen author would write about. I'm in my 20's so I knew that it would be for the younger set, but I'll read any book about vampires.

The plot was good, but I did have trouble with the flow of her words. I kept having to re-read sentences that were meant to be poetic I suppose. I also felt that the characters were not developed strongly enough to suit my tastes. I had trouble caring about the main character Jessica.

Anyway, I felt like the book was too short, and her editor should have left the parts in that obviously had been taken out. Otherwise it's a good book for the pre-teenagers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Aubrey the Viper
Review: Aubrey. What a great charcter. He was described perfectly, with a hint of hatred for his own kind. In The Forests of the Night was excellent, but I despised Aubrey like he was all demon. In Demon in My View, he has human emotions that weaken him. He loves Jessica, and changes her because he wants to be with her. In the begining, he was afraid to amit it to himself. This is my favorite book, and I think you should read it! When my friend Alyssa introduced me to Amelia Atwater-Rhode's books I took not one moments hasitation to read it all in one ay. Which I did. Atwater-Rhodes is my favorite auther. Keep writing Amelia!

Summary: sad...
Review: I didn't like this book at all. She could use some work and there are too many plotholes. Even my 2-year-old cousin could produce better art than this. I wasted [money] on something that was both a waste of money and time. How could such a immature "writer" get more publicity than GREAT writers like Ann Rinaldi or Mildred D. Taylor? The market just wants to attract attention, that's what. By using this girl, they not only rake in loads of money, but they also get a ton of media attention. It might not be this girl's fault either that she's being used like a rag. But she should send out short stories and work on plot a little more. And then, she could wait until her writing's a little more mature before she publishes another book that may just be worth buying...

Summary: horror?
Review: I had read this book a while back and got bored and reread it and can to the same conclusion that this one of the worst books I have ever read. The plot is sad and pathetic with touches of stupidity. The characters were so 2-D I felt I could have cut them out and dressed them up in paper. Miss Rhodes has some signs of talent but I think it would have been wise to wait a few years so she could grow and learn more about the art. I'm the same age as her and read a little to much (I average a 300-400 page book about ever three days. The idea that this is suppose to be a teen book scares me. There are many good YA authors who deserve a lot more plublicity then Miss Rhodes (Cormier, Block, and Klause, just to name a few). Another thing that bothered me was Miss Rhodes age. I'd expect someone with her intelligence to come up with better ideas and believable characters-- there is no way she's passing any English class. I felt like I was reading a Buffy book, and not in a good way. I'm also tired of all these happy endings we keep see in Ya literature. The world for teen is not a happy place. Even the newest Harry Potter book is darker and scarier then DEMON IN MY VIEW. In short, Amelia At-water-Rhodes's books should be marketed to 11-13 year-olds and she might want to wait a few years before publishing a new YA novel (but we all know this won't happen).

Summary: Demon in my View Review
Review: Jessica Allodola recently published a book, Tiger,Tiger, under the pen name Ash Night. Jessica doesn't know how much trouble the book gets her into until two people step into her life. These two people are Caryn Rashida who is secretly a witch, and Alex Remington who is really a vampire named Aubrey that Jessica has written about in her books. The reason Caryn and Aubrey seek Jessica is because everything Jessica has written in her book is true. Jessica writes about the world in which vampires and witches live. Caryn must protect Jessica from Aubrey because he is trying to kill Jessica so she can not write anymore. After meeting Jessica, Aubrey falls in love with her and will not kill her although he is pressured to by another vampire named Fala. Fala dislikes Jessica because Jessica wrote about Fala's weaknesses. As the story goes on, Jessica learns the truth about her life while dodging death. In the end Jessica does die but it's not the death you would expect. Jessica's inner strength is amazing and she is very sure of herself and very confident. Her actions are never influenced by others. Jessica doesn't dwell on what she wishes would happen, but looks reality in the eye and glares right back. I definitely recommend this book, but I would read the first book, In the Forests of the Night before reading this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book!!
Review: I don't like to read, I will tell you that. I am more into video games and such, but when I say this book in the hands of my friend, something made me ask to borrow it. I read a bit, and imedeiatly I started to love it. I laid in my bed with my cat for a few hours tonight and read the whole book. I just couldn't stop reading!!!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not Your Average Fantasy
Review: A beautiful but bittersweet novel, this story captured me in the first paragraph. Jessica is a published author; she believes that her stories about vampires are only figments of her imagination. But when Alex appears as if straight from her novel,_Tiger, Tiger_, she is captured by a darker world. Jessica tries to recover a heritage she can't remember while threatened from all sides. This story is passionate, dark, and slightly twisted. There is even an element of romance. Even those who are not fascinated by vampires will be intrigued and ultimately pulled into Atwater-Rhodes' astonishing world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An AMAZING sequel to a good book
Review: Well, I must say that I am impressed. I mean, I was impressed with In The Forest of The Night, but it read like an amatuer long short story. This though, was quite a bit different.

Jessica strikes close to home for me. A reject who loves to wear black, not because she worships satan, but because she likes the color. A pile of unpublished manuscripts about one universe of characters, and a room with only a single bulb to illuminate it. This strikes a cord with us lonely teenage types quite well.

Right after I read In the Forest of the Night, I was convinced that I could wait for Demon in My View to come out in Paperback. I mean, Forest was good, but not 10 bucks good. Then, I found fifteen bucks on a table in the mall. Decided, what the hell. What I found, was amazing increases in skill by Amelia, definite growth. This book is definitely worth 10 dollars.
